This probably my favorite book at the moment (reading it a second time now!). I started a 1000 gifts list last year and I'm around 400 now! So I'm definitely taking the challenge :) It's such a great way to focus on the blessings the Lord has given us, and focus less on the suffering or hardships in our lives. Beautiful pictures! I can't wait to read more of your list! xo

Ever since I moved back to California I feel like every moment is so special to me. I've totally learned to take advantage of the little things in life; I thought I used to do this but now I see so much more.

I love that book, and it has had such an impact on my life. It is the compilation of those 'little things' and being thankful for those that instill a heart of gratitude -- something I am still working at. I love this idea. It will hold me accountable to tracking that which makes me grateful instead of dismissing it.

I loved reading this! That's it, I'm a reader now. Bah, your Boston Terrier looks so similar to ours--really petite with the almost-always-upright-ears...except when she does something she wasn't supposed to, when her ears end up flat against her little head.

I love this! It's such a great idea, and there really is so much in life that we should be grateful for. There are so many little things that are overlooked every day. I will definitely be starting this!

This is such a a great post, and inspired me to create my own! I just wanted to say thank you for the reminder. Making a list of all the things we are happy and grateful for is such a great way to stay optimistic in life! Hope you have a great day!

I couldn't find your email address but I'm messaging you so you can add me to you list of link ups! I just did my first blog post for this challenge on Monday! This is such a terrific idea and I am loving the book so far. Completely life changing! I'm in! Here's my first blog post for 1000 gifts!
